HAIR DRBSSERS TOOL.

UNITE JOHN MACHADO, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
HAIR-DRESSERS TOOL.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 30, 1907.
Application filed July 5, 1906. Serial No. 324.868.
To all whom it may concern.-
' Be it known that I, .ToHN MACHADO, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk andState of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hair-Dressers Tools, of which the following is a specification. I
This invention relates to improvements in hair dresscrs tools, and more especially in tools for forming a natural or niarcel wave in the hair.
The invention has for its objects to produce a tool which may be operated by any person unskilled in the art and obtain a perfect result. To produce a tool whereby look after lock of the hair ofthe head may be operated upon thereby and the resulting wave effect be uniform and even.
The invention consists of the novel construction, arrangement and configuration of the operating parts of the tool with which the hair is brought into engagement, and the combination with a portion of the tool shaped as above, of a clamping portion so shaped as to clamp and press the hair into the other portion of the tool to cause the desired effect upon the hair.
The invention is carried out substantially as illustrated on the accompanying drawing which forms an essential part of this specification and whercon like characters of reference refer to like parts wherever they occur on the different parts of the drawing.
On the drawing: Figure 1, represents a plan view of my improved tool. Fig. 2 represents a bottom view of the same. Fig. 3 represents a side elevation thereof. Fig. 4 represents a sectional plan view of the tool showing the position of the hair when being acted upon. Fig. 5 represents a cross section of the tool on the line xx in Fig. 1. Fig. 6 represents a side elevation of the tool showing another means which may be employed to clamp and hold the hair in position.
Some persons with straight hair or with slightly wavy hairare anxious to obtain the pleasing effect of having their hair formed into the natural undulations or waves. Attempts at producing this effect have been made by the use of curling tongs having one of the jaws cylindrical and the other jaw concaved to fit upon the cylindrical jaw. The hair has been manipulated between thcse jaws of such tongs and a certain wavy effect has been produced although not the natural wave, but it requires a person to be very skilled in the use of the tongs to even' obtain a wavy effect, and such a person could not obtain the effect of a natural wave which natural wave is free from angles and consisted of a greater number of undulations than could be obtained by the use of these tongs. Another attempt has been made by the use of a thin pieceof sheet metal having two of its opposite edges provided with recesses 01' cut away portions which cause a series of projecting teeth to be formed on each of these two edges, the teeth of one edge being opposite the spaces between 7 hair.
the teeth on the other edge. The hair extends under a tooth on one side of the plate across the plate, then under a tooth on the other side of the plate, then across the plate again and under the next tooth of the series containing the first tooth engaged by the hair. A very wavy effect is thus produced upon the hair but it is a very unnatural wave and is not satisfactory as the square portion of the plate and the square edges do not produce a natural curve of the natural wavy The above are the only devices which are known to me and it is the object of my present invention to obviate the defects found in the operation of these devices.
My improved device may be made as a tongs as shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4, or as a hinged clamp as shown in Fig. 5 and it consists of a jaw A and a jaw 13 which are hinged together at (I. When the jaws are made as a tongs they are provided with handles D, D of any suit-able design by which the jaws may be easily opened or pressed together. When the jaws are made as a clamp they are provided with a suitable locking device E by which the jaws may be held firmly together.
The jaw A is the jaw to receive the hair to be operated upon and this jaw consists of a body portion 7 of pcculiar shape as hereafter described which also has a series of side projections fronrihe opposite sides of said body, the projections 2 on one side of the body projecting opposite to the spaces between projections 3 from the other side of said body.
The projections 2 and 3 are made longitudinally converted-on their under surfaces, and longitudinally concavcd on their upper surface, these concaved surfaces forming grooves which extend laterally across the top surface of the body 1 leaving-a ridge 5 between the groove on one projection and the groove on the next projection from the opposite side of the body. The combined grooves and intermediate ridges cause a vertically undulated top surface of the body, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5. The longitudinal opposite edges of the under surface of'the body 1 are made serpentine in curved lines, as shown at G and 7 respectively in Fig. 3, the high portions of the serpmitine surface 6 coincide with the projections 2, while the high portions of the serpentine surface 7 coincide with the projections 3. The concaved and convexed surfaces on the projections 2 and 3, and the ridges 5, combined with the serpentine side surfaces 6 and 7 on opposite sides of the body 1,
cause said body portion 1 to be provided with two series of undulated surfaces arranged in longitudinal planes at right angles to each other. All parts of the jaw A which contact with the hair are made with curved edges.
In placing the hair upon the jaw A, so as to be in the position shown in Fig. 4, I take a lock of the hair and beginning near the scalp of the persons head, carry the hair across the top of the body 1 within one of the grooves 4; then over one of the ridges 5; then under one of the projections 2 against the convex surface on said projection and also in contact with the curve of one of the high portions of the serpentine surface 6 on the body portion; then within the next cross groove 4; then over the next ridge 5; then under one of the projections 3 against the convex surface on said projection, and also in contact with the curve ofone of the high portions of theserpentine surface 7 on the body portion; then within the next crossgroove 4 and ridge 5 to the next projection 2. This curved path for the hair is continued until all of the projections have been engaged by the hair or until the end of the hair is reached, when the hair is clamped and firmly held in placc. by causing the jaw B to come into contact with the hair.
-The jaw B has the under surface 8, or the surface which is brought into contact with the hair on the jaw A, so shaped as substantially to correspond with the combined surfaces of the cross grooves 4 and the intermediate ridges 5, and by this means the hair is firmly pressed and held in place between the surfaces of the grooves 4 and ridges 5 on the jaw A and the surface 8 on the jaw B.
The action of the combined curves of the jaw A, arranged in longitudinal planes at right angles to each other, and the ridges between one of the series of said curves, is such as to produce the various curves and creases which constitute a natural or niareel wave.
The jaws are made from metal and can be used cold or heated. When used cold they are preferably simply hinged together at one end and provided with a locking device E at the opposite end, substantially as shown in Fig. 5, but when they are used heated they are preferably provided with handles D-D usual and sub stantially as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3.
Although I have illustrated the tool as being provided V with the two jaws, which is the preferred construction,
it will be understood that the jaw A may be used alone and a very pleasing effect be produced upon the hair although it would not produce a perfect and natural wave.
My improved tool is very strong, simple, not easy to get out of order, is easily operated even by a person unskilled in the art of dressing hair. The waves formed by the tool are perfect: and natural, they are uniform in size and shape, and produce a very pleasing effect.
Having thus fully described the nature, construction and the operation of my invention, I wish to secure by Letters Patent and to claim:
v 1. A hairdressers tool consisting of a body portion hav- -ing serpentine surfaces on opposite sides thereof, cross grooves areshapcd in cross section with intermediate ridges on its top surface, and side projections projecting alternately from the opposite sides of said body, having concaved upper surfaces coinciding with the grooves on said body and convex surfaces on the under side of said projections, whereby a naturalwave effect is produced upon the hair operated upon by said tool.
2. A halrdressers tool comprising a jaw consisting of a body portion having serpentine surfaces on the opposite sides thereof, grooves arc-shaped in cross section with intermediate ridges on its top surface, and side projections projecting alternately from the opposite sides of said body, having convex surfaces on the under side of said projeclions and having concaved upper surfaces on said projections coinciding with the grooves on said body, combined with a jaw having a surface substantially fitting the surface on the other jaw formed by the combined grooves and ridges on the top of the body portion of the jaw, and means to hold the jaws firmly together, whereby a natural wave effect is produced upon the hair operated upon by said tool.
3. A hairdressers tool comprising a jaw consisting of a body portion having serpentine surfaces on the opposite sides thereof, grooves arc-shaped in cross section with intermediate ridges on its top surface, and side projections projecting alternately from the opposite sides of said body having convex surfaces on the under side of said projections and having concnved upper surfaces on said projection coinciding with the grooves on said body, combined with a jaw having a surface substantially fitting the sur- "face on the other jaw formed by the combined grooves and ridges on the top of the body portion of the jaw, and handies on the jaws to firmly hold the jaws pressed together. whereby a natural wave effect is produced upon the hair operated upon by said tool.
4. A hair dresser's tool consisting of a body portion haw ing grooves thereon arc-shaped in cross section with intermediate ridges on the top surface and side projections having concav d upper surfaces coinciding with the grooves and convexed surfaces on the under side of said projections said projections projecting alternately from the opposite sides of the body portion whereby a wave effect is produced upon the hair when wound alternately in contact with the under surfaces of the projections and across the body portion-in contact therewith.
In testimony whereof I have aflix-ed my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
